I think this was 2008 and that year is not on line on an Index as far as I can see. I know about the Index as I use it regularly. I don't know whether you have been watching Heir Hunters - you can see it online - it was Wednesday's edition. See what you can make of it.

See what you can make of it. Was this the Ethel Climpson one? (I've just watched the first few minutes). What was shown on screen was not the Death Certificate, but the information at the Bona Vacantia web site, which gives her name, date and place of death. It used to include value of the estate, but that's no longer the case since it lead to too many bogus claimants coming forward on the more valuable estates. -- Regards _ / ) "The blindingly obvious is / _)rad never immediately apparent"
